​We work towards influencing them in the practice of developing an appreciation for both themselves and other women. ​

VISION

​​"Flaunt It" uses the arts to focus on two main goals.

It promotes self-love for women and aids them in developing self-confidence in hopes that it will help empower them in their everyday lives.

It builds a movement of women working to establish themselves as the young leaders making change in the social and/or art sectors.

WHO DO WE WORK FOR?

The objective of "Flaunt It" works touplift the self-esteem of women worldwide.

Currently, it focuses on impacting women from Toronto, with the specific aim to work with youth in marginalized communities. By working to uplift the young women, “Flaunt It" aims to build a fundamental confidence that the youth can apply throughout their adolescence and beyond.

With Jane and Finch as the current project's community focus, the area is one of the most multicultural in Toronto with over 80 ethno-cultural groups. However, the community has been designated a Neighbourhood Improvement Area as a result of barriers produced by the social, structural, political and historical conditions that have developed over the past four decades. These barriers disproportionately impact women and play a key role in negatively impacting their social determinants.
